[opendtv] 20041028 Those Thursday Thoughts (Mark's Monday Memo)
- From: "Mark Schubin" <tvmark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- To: "Multiple Addresses Suppressed" <tvmark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2004 22:45:37 -0400
- Follow-ups:
- ***The Technology Retreat*** - Although the main program is filling
up (we have more submissions than we can put in the program), there may
still be a tiny bit of room for presentations after we juggle things
(there's PLENTY of room for breakfast roundtables and demos). So, again,
if YOU want to make a presentation, then YOU should contact me (ASAP!). If
you want someone else to make a presentation, then you should get that
person to contact me. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME ON BEHALF OF SOMEONE ELSE!
I don't care if you are a PR company, a vp of marketing, or Albert
Einstein's long-lost brother. Unless YOU, personally, want to make a
presentation, please do not send me messages about getting slots in the
main program. Thank you. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
- Note that the fun goes on longer this time. The official retreat
still starts the afternoon of Wednesday, January 26 and ends the evening of
Friday, January 28. But you won't want to miss the compression
extravaganza on Wednesday morning, featuring Walt Husak of Dolby on
JPEG2000 (the DCI choice for digital cinema), Matt Goldman of Tandberg on
AVC relative to VC-1 from a technology standpoint, David Price of Harmonic
on AVC relative to VC-1 from a market standpoint, Dr. Jiuhuai Lu of
Panasonic on the AVC FRExt tools, Ron Moore of Via Licensing on "Patent
Pools and Licensing 101," and much, much more.
The previous day (Tuesday), there will be an Advanced Authoring Format
seminar in the morning and a choice in the afternoon of an outstanding ATSC
seminar on PSIP or SMPTE Sarnoff Gold Medal winner Charles Poynton (author
of the Gamma Sutra) on wide-gamut acquisition and display. ATSC
working-group members and trade press should re-check schedules soon to
discover other (non-public) events that may be taking place at the same
venue that week. There's even a slim possibility that we might offer a
once-in-a-lifetime post-retreat seminar on Saturday morning. Stand by for
more details.
- Mark Chiolis of Thomson will be moderating a Thursday breakfast
roundtable on "blended" production -- combining film, SD, HD, and Viper
material. Hugh Heinsohn will do one on Friday on HD standards conversion.

- May 1 - Neither the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) nor the
National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) updated their lists since the
last memo. In fact, October is almost over, and the FCC has not yet
released the September figures.
According to Doug Lung's RF Report in TV Technology, the FCC CDBS
database listed 625 licensed U.S. DTT stations as of October 24:

- Texas Instruments (TI) has come out with a DTT-receiver chip for mobile
phones. In classic fashion, the New York Times said it was for HDTV rather
than DTT:
<http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/21/technology/21phone.html>
Although the chip is being called "Hollywood," it is designed for
DVB-H and ISDB-T, the European and Japanese systems. TI reportedly
believes the U.S. will adopt DVB-H:

- CEA has released its 39-page Fall 2004 HDTV Guide. It lists 177
integrated DTT receiver/displays ranging from $778 (they're already selling
for less) to $22,995. It also lists 44 microdisplay-based projection
monitors (four of which have no NTSC tuners), 229 flat-panel HDTV monitors
(93 with no NTSC tuners), 105 flat-panel EDTV monitors (27 with no NTSC
tuners), the HD stations carried on cable, and 47 HDTV networks (NOT
including the ones exclusive to Voom):

.PDF>
- Panasonic will stop making CRT-based projection TVs by March:
<http://www.twice.com/article/CA475683?display=Breaking+News>
- Based on figures from CEA, sales to U.S. dealers of non-H/DTV television
sets for the first 40 weeks of 2004 were down 6.7% from the same period in
2003. My ten-week running average was down 13.
Sales of so-called "Digital Televisions" for the 40th week were
117,074 units and for the first 40 weeks 3,018,476.
"Digital Televisions" (most of which are HDTV displays without
DTT-reception capability) accounted for about 15.3% of the TVs (not
counting plasma or direct-view LCD) sold to U.S. dealers through the 40th
week this year. It may be worth noting here what that means. About 85% of
the non-plasma, non-direct-view-LCD TVs sold through the 40th week this
year were still plain non-H/DTV direct-view TVs with picture tubes.
To qualify to CEA as a "Digital Television," a display need only be
capable of dealing with at least 480p; it need not be capable of either
receiving digital signals or displaying them. Devices actually capable of
receiving DTT signals are still a small fraction of those numbers.

- DVD news:
- According to CEA, sales of DVD players to U.S. dealers for the first
40 weeks of 2004 were up 1.8% from the same period in 2003. My ten-week
running average was up 8.8%. It's pretty amazing! VCR sales were down
62.9% for the first 40 weeks.
- Philips has announced RepliTrack, a watermark for DVDs that is said
to survive VHS copying or peer-to-peer file sharing:
<http://www.twice.com/article/CA475341?display=Breaking+News>
- According to NPD, average prices of basic DVD players fell 16% in
August from their July levels to $46.61. DVD players were the only
category of consumer-electronics product to fall at least 10% in price
(20GB music players were UP 12% over the previous year):
<http://www.npdtechworld.com/techServlet?nextpage=pr_body_it.html&content_id
=2028>
- According to the Digital Entertainment Group, roughly 990 million
DVDs were sold in North America in 2004 through the third quarter (3.4
billion since DVDs were introduced). Some 63 million households are said
to have DVD players, a lower penetration than CEA uses; 42% of those have
two or more DVD players, for a total of 110 million:

- According to Adams Media Research, "Return of the King," released to
